While You Count the Starsby
Novica Tadictranslated from the Serbian by Charles SimicWhile you count the stars, some woman next to you
tells you that the world is full of hatred,
gasps of love and sawdust. Not long ago, she left
her husband who ditched her in the forest.
The rabbit is in the pot, the broom is behind the door.
When you cross her threshold, you'll see your shadow,
her god, her many gods.
You'll be again a stupid man
who bullies and torments.
You'll be perplexed, have no idea where you are.
You'll follow the burning river, descending even lower.
Evil spirits will rise out of the palm of your hand.

EnronianA Bird Started to Singby
Novica Tadictranslated from the Serbian by Charles SimicA bird started to sing
on a clear day
over the gallows
A branch stirred
in a small grove
next to a smoldering fire
A stream babbled
over the bodies
of the ones struck down
Wind lifted the ashes
and spread them
over other ashes

That was Zen, but this is Tao.
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before !

My flaws are better than your flaws
Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
